#321 Adaira Landry MD: From Mentorship to Micro Skills—Tools for Thriving at Work — Part One

You're learning the language of the literary world, right? I didn't know the difference between an agent, an editor, a publishing house, what it means to go to auction. All of those things was new and learning is hard, but I'm glad I had someone to help along the way because I think it would have been more challenging on my own.

The actual process of writing is challenging, too, because as you mentioned, we have different schedules and we're like volleying the manuscript back and forth where I might send it to her late at night because I have three children and I'm putting them to bed. I'm waking up very early in the morning, but I can't write early in the morning because I have kids to get ready for school.

So Risa did a lot of her writing in the morning. I just couldn't do it then. And so I think that back and forth actually played to our advantage so that we had different times to see the manuscript. We also have different perspectives because Risa is 15 years older than I am. And so she has had much more experience working closely with baby boomers and Gen X.

In my position, I have a lot of experience working with millennials and Gen Z. So I think that really helped because we had a different degree of depth with those different generations. So I think the differences and the learning was helpful for us to get through this process. Now we're in this stage where we're learning like, okay, we're almost at a year. How do we continue to market this book?

She and I entered this process knowing that there were many other books that we were going to write. She had her own list of books that she wants to write. I have my own list of books that I've always wanted to write. And some of them are like novels. And so I'll be doing those alone. But I think no matter what, we have this foundation together. We wrote our first book together.

I want her to continue on as a writer, and I support all of her journey going forward, and I think she feels the same way. And even though we might not write a book again together, I don't know, maybe, I want the best for her as she continues on through her writing.

I am someone who wants to get as much schooling as possible for the rest of my life. Like I'm certain I'm going to get one more degree before I die, at least. And so I love the classroom environment. In fact, after this call, I have a class. I just love taking classes. I like the group learning. I like sharing ideas. I like critique.

And so I am probably addicted to just that classroom environment. And I actually miss it when I'm not actively taking some type of a class. I got a general master's of education. So there's an alternative that I could have received, which is a master's of medical education.

I have this mindset of go bigger so that it's more applicable, more generalized when it comes to this sort of a degree, because I knew that eventually there's a chance that I leave medicine altogether or I leave academia altogether And a master's of general education would be more widely understood than a master's of medical education.

And so when I was getting the degree, I actually focused on technology, innovation and education. I remember taking classes at the business school and just learning a lot about startups. And I'm thinking again about ed tech. And I was just like, I'm so glad I got this degree. I don't want to. downplay the value of medical education because there's certainly value.
